We took a trip in August back to the Davis Mountains. We loved it so much last year we had to come back with my Mom. We enjoyed the Indian Lodge and the McDonald Observatory again. We spent hours swimming at Balmorhea. We also stayed a few nights at the Prude Ranch and went for a trail ride up the mountains. One of my favorite stops was the Dessert Botanical Garden. We hiked down into a canyon and saw beautiful gardens. The weather was as mild as Texas in the summer can be. The boys are headed to Cub Scout camp this weekend and we are trying to find a state park with sites available for November. This area is growing so quickly and people love the outdoors so much, it is getting increasingly difficult to get weekend reservations at our State Parks. A blessing and a curse I suppose. Perhaps more people will mean more funding for more parks. Here are a few pictures from our trips.
